Upcoming features in Subsonic 2.6
Posted: Tue Nov 29, 2005 7:11 pmHi,
Just wanted to let you know what I'm currently working on for the next version of Subsonic (2.6).
Support for multiple music folders. Several users have reported that they would like to specify several music folders in the configuration. This is useful, for example, if you have your music on multiple disks, or if you have one directory with music, and another with movies. The index (on the left-hand side) can either show all music folders (merged alphabetically), or the user can select (from a combo box) which music folder to display.
Rating and comments. I'm planning to implement a mechanism for user-defined rating and comments. The rating is similar to what you find in ordinary players (Windows Media Player, MusicMatch, ...) The user can assign a given rating (e.g., from one to six "stars") to a given album. Similarily, the user may add or edit a comment for an album.
Home page. I would like to add a new "Home" page, displaying miscellaneous information, for instance: a list of random albums, a list of highest rated albums, a list of most played albums, information about which users are logged in, which players are connected and what they are playing.
Keep statistics for players on reconnect. You might have noticed that the bandwidth chart is reset if a player reconnects. I would like to keep bandwidth statistics for a while even if a player reconnects.
Internet radio. Haven't thought this one through yet, but it would be nice with some support for Internet radio. For instance, there could be a list of user-defined radio stations on the Home page. If the user clicks on it, the local player connects to the internet radio (either directly, or through the Subsonic server).
Any thoughts on this?
Regards,
Sindre
